Heatwaves across USA, UK, etc.

You folks must be sweltering with temperatures over 33º C (90º+F) in your summer.

Here in Cairns it is Winter and temperature today should be around 26º C (80+F).
Cold overnight, around 18º C (64 F) but beautiful during the day.

How hot is it where you live? Bazza

 

93F here, it's a hot one.

In the high 90's today...due to be 104F tomorrow and Saturday. Just been up Walmart and raided the remains of their stock of fans. Nearly got wiped out by a Walmart truck

@Rikky......oh my gosh...brick buildings!!!!! Now I feel home sick

 

I live in Oklahoma. It's supposed to be 108 degrees today
and 110 tomorrow!

It's 6.30am Friday here, and still fairly dark outside.
Nice shots, last weekend. What is the streak across the sky.
Space Shuttle passing overhead, jet stream, UFO? Bazza

Midnight 73°
Cloudy

It's been Humid and A/Cs are working over-time!

 

We have the opposite problem with humidity...i.e. there is very little (20% in places), which means fires are a great risk.

 

You working 12 hour shifts, with the temps being taken every 3 hours? Bazza

110-120 everyday here.. drops to high 80 at night....

 

Well most don't think of the Rocky Mtn region as being hot , hot , hot. But it has been. Several days here over 100. but Humidity is usually in the teens or lower in the day time. Today is much cooler High was 92 and is 77 now at 6 pm MDT. My old stomping grounds (St. Louis MO area) really got it last nite. Bout half the population without power I understand.

Jack

 

Right at or just above 100F here the last few days. Which is fairly normal for Memphis in July. Cool front is supposed to bring rain and mid-80s temps Saturday.

 

it has been hitting over 100F here. i will be glad when winter gets back here.

i live in Oklahoma, and it was 104F yesterday, 106F today. it was 85F at 6:30am and its 94F right now (9:00 pm)

 

I live in central Texas, north of San Antonio in the Hill Country... and at 103F here, it's pretty damn hot. But I can tell you one thing: I've been working outside in it for the past three days, all day long. It's not like sitting in the house saying, "Oh God, it's so hot out there!" Come out and enjoy it like framers and masons do.
It's supposed to rain tomorrow they say, but if it does, it'll be humid as the pits of hell then...

 

Well it's not far from mid-day here and I have all the air-cons on, on heating cycle still. It's been dropping to about 0 to 2 deg. Celsius every night here for weeks. Bloomin’' cold and rainy.

But then again, in six months time, I'll be complaining its 45 deg. Celsius (115 deg. f) again!

 

I'm in Southern BC, up against the West slope of the Rockies. We usually hit 90F every Summer, but always with the low humidity. 93F tomorrow, 97F Saturday and Sunday. (I have a pool).

 

Last week or so topped 105F (41C), my thermometer showed 109F (43C). Cummon folks, it's not even the hotest part of the year for this part of the world! I don't want to see what's coming.

 

UK, Middle Eastern Coast (Hull) and it was been around 28-32c for about 2 weeks which is a definite heatwave for us. Highest around 35c I think.

Nice

 

37c I think was reached in Surrey yesterday, and around 47c on the tubes in London, so glad I'm not working in London!!!

 

It should break tomorrow, thunderstorms predicted (so it'll probably snow)

 

8:20am and I'm already overheating in my air-conditioned office. Head is pounding with allergies and heat. TGIF!!!!!!!

My sympathy goes out to the Brits in all this...at least we do have A/C over here in most homes. Drink tons of iced water guys!

 

The freezer compatment of my fridge is overgrown with some kind of malicious ice that seems to be breeding. I can't fit the ice cube trays in

 

Take the ice cube trays out and just get in the freezer yourself!

Use a hairdryer to remove over grown ice...just don't get the melting water on the dryer

 

Hmm good thinging. I did try having a dig at it with a knife, but that was pointless. NOw I just need a hairdryer....

Matt

 

In the last few days, 104f, 106f, and 107f. But, it looks as if we're going to get something new, to our area. A quote from NOAA weather: "MONSOONAL MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO MOVE FROM THE MOJAVE DESERT
AREA TO THE NORTHWEST AND OVER THE NORTHERN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY..
DELTA AND COASTAL RANGE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING."........wobbles

 

Hehe, at work I just use the walk-in freezer to cool down

 

Blah blah blah 86f blah blah blue skies blah blah blah

That hot in "the jungle" ?
Really cool on the East Coast of OZ. Bazza

Yesterday, here in Des Moines, Iowa the temp got hot enough to buckle concrete due to thermal expansion. That hasn't happened a lot since I was a kid.

I think I would have waited another 30 or so years before it got that hot again.

 

2pm 107f, hot time of the day aound here is 5:30pm.....will see then.....wobbles

 

Most of that moisture is from everybody else's evaporating sweat...eewwwwwww!!!!!!!

 

eewwwwwwww indead, (except its only the water part that evaporates, the rest is probbaly left as a residue on the person which I think might be an even bigger ewwwwwww!)

 

It was 102F today it's been hot all week, back on sunday I was playing FEAR and I guess it was too hot for my GPU it is on it's way to eVGA and I am stuck with onboard video, so no gaming for at least until friday

 

Hey splitt3r....it's still +80F now and humidity is rising. Did you get a few drops of rain up there earlier? I just can't sleep.....

 

yeah, I couldn't even call it a small shower, but there were a few drops. it is insanely muggy. I am staying up all night.

 

Welcome to the forum Mankind

EDIT = oops you joined four years ago hehe

 

Well birmingham finally gave up. The rain has arrived. (Still hot and horrible though )

 

Yup...we're all HOT here in Oregon *grins*

Hey MK...how's the Rose today? We did yardwork up here until the sun broke through, and then called it a day. We're coming down your way next month...jet boat rides at Grants Pass...awesome trip with excellent dinner. Gotta be done!

 

While you are all burning up, I'm bloomin' freezing cold, LoL! On top of that the power meter box blew up last night (literally smoking), and they've only just fixed it - so I've felt like I've been left on an ice flow in my long Johns all night, eh!

Nice to see ya make a few posts in this place at long last, M.K.
